President Trump’s 70-Point plan on immigration reform pretty
much hits the head of the nail on accomplishing his campaign promise. He even
offers a compromise bone on DACA to the Leftist Dems if they go along with
funding The Wall and strengthening border security. But let’s be clear! The
only way this plan doesn’t get through Congress is will be due to RINO members
joining the Dem hysterical lies.

Trump’s New 70-Point Immigration Plan Is Bad News For
DACA, Sanctuary Cities And Violent Gang Members
"...restore the rule of law to our immigration
system, prioritize America’s safety and security, and end the
lawlessness."

The package would require
that in exchange for any legislation to allow children of illegal immigrants to
remain in the United States, Congress must approve funding a wall along the
southern border, approve curbs on federal grants to sanctuary cities and fix
the leaky border to stop potential gang members from crossing into the U.S.
Trump’s package of proposals
would also give federal agents more ability to stop illegal immigrants at the
border, detain them if they slip into the country and deport them faster.
“These findings outline
reforms that must be included as part of any legislation addressing the status
of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients,” Trump wrote in a
letter to Congress. “Without these reforms, illegal immigration and chain
migration, which severely and unfairly burden American workers and taxpayers,
will continue without end.”
The proposals received
support of many lawmakers and officials.
“President Trump has put
forth a series of proposals that will restore the rule of law to our
immigration system, prioritize America’s safety and security, and end the
lawlessness. These are reasonable proposals that will build on the early
success of President Trump’s leadership. This plan will work. If followed it
will produce an immigration system with integrity and one in which we can take
pride. Perhaps the best result will be that unlawful attempts to enter will
continue their dramatic decline,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said
in a statement.
House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., praised the administration for “a serious
proposal” and said that “we cannot fix the DACA problem without fixing all
of the issues that led to the underlying problem of illegal immigration in the
first place.”
When Trump announced that he
wanted to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which
allowed children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States, he said
he was open to a deal with Congress to allow the estimated 800,000 DACA
participants to remain.
“Anything that is done addressing
the status of DACA recipients needs to include these three reforms and solve
these three problems,” a senior White House official told The Washington Times. “If
you don’t solve these problems then you’re not going to have a secure border,
you’re not going to have a lawful immigration system and you’re not going to be
able to protect American workers.”
“We would expect Congress to
include all the reforms in any package that addresses the status of the DACA
recipients,” one White House aide said on the conference call with reporters.
“Other views had their fair day in the democratic process.”
But Democrats were outraged
and accused Trump of racism.
“The administration can’t be
serious about compromise or helping the Dreamers if they begin with a list that
is anathema to the Dreamers, to the immigrant community and to the vast
majority of Americans,” Senate Minority Leader Church Schumer, D-N.Y., and
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a joint statement Sunday
evening, according to The Washington Post. “We
told the President at our meeting that we were open to reasonable border
security measures … but this list goes so
far beyond what is reasonable. This proposal fails to represent any attempt at
compromise.”
Others were not so restrained
in their opinions of Trump.
“Congress should reject this
warped, anti-immigrant policy wish list. The White House wants to use dreamers
as bargaining chips to achieve the administration’s deportation and detention
goals,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Tex.), vice chairman of the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.,
called the package of reforms “an extension of the white supremacist agenda.”
He said it is “fanciful
thinking that you can sit down with a man who has based his presidential
aspirations and has never wavered from his xenophobic positions. I never
understood — I just never got it, how you go from Charlottesville and white
supremacists to reaching an agreement with him.”
